Hosting a holiday cookie exchange is a great way to bring family and friends together and fill up the cookie jar for the holidays!
1. Chocolate-Peppermint Whoopie Pies
These soft, cakey sandwich cookies are perfect for the holidays; chocolate and peppermint are a classic combination, or swap vanilla extract, or use a jar of marshmallow crème in place of the frosting. The cookies are delicious on their own, too – like chocolaty muffin tops.
